The sensitive or damaged rosacea skin needs small concentrations of Jojoba oil for the following reasons:
1. To help reverse damage to the epidermis caused by harsh soaps, facial washes, and rosacea topical medications.
2. To help replace moisture lost from the use of facial washes and topical medications.
3. To help enhance skin healing (cell division and growth) within the middle layer of the epidermis.
4. To help normalize sebum excretion. (related to acne)
5. To help normalize keratin sloughing off from the dermis (related to acne).
6. To help normalize the production of inflammatory substances (prostaglandins) in the dermis of the skin.
The importance of jojoba oil derives from its similarity to the natural restorative oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the dermal layers of the skin. Jojoba oil is non-allergenic and will not clog the pores.
